Hart InterCivic, a leading national provider of voting systems and
election management technology, successfully implemented Election
InSite™, a revolutionary social media monitoring service featuring
exclusive geolocation technology, in several counties for the recent
General Election, among them Orange County, California and Williamson
County, Texas.

Centrally monitoring open social network postings based on their own
meaningful keywords and specific locations, election administrators can
be made immediately aware of what is happening on the ground at their
polling places, effectively helping them be everywhere at once on
election day. This unique capability helped election officials make
decisions regarding resources, equipment, and support in real-time,
contributing to a smoother election experience for voters. Orange
County, CA is one of the largest jurisdictions nationwide to use Hart’s
Election InSite, enhancing their already sophisticated communications
network.

“Election InSite provided an extra advantage during a very busy election
day,” said Neal Kelley, Registrar of Voters, Orange County, CA. “It’s
real-time capabilities let us address potential concerns pre-emptively,
and the location-specific technology is very powerful in that we can
pinpoint exactly where an issue is developing to help determine how we
can best provide support.”

Election InSite monitors postings to open social networks for keywords
that could indicate a potential problem. The service also measures and
reports the tone of public postings to help determine voters’ relative
satisfaction with their voting experience. Different from most social
media tracking tools, however, is Election InSite’s ability to identify
with remarkable precision, where these postings originate, meaning
election officials know exactly where to send help.

“Advancing election technology is what we do best,” said Hart CEO
Phillip Braithwaite. “We listen to our customers and continue to bring
innovation to areas where it makes a difference. When you see Election
InSite in action, you immediately get it, and you understand the value
it delivers in helping manage a complex event such as an election.”
